What is Trump's SSA voter database executive order?

It's EO directing Social Security to share death and eligibility data with states for voter roll cleanups ahead of midterms.

How could SSA data lead to voter suppression?

Automated purges based on imperfect matches can wrongly remove eligible voters, especially in minority-heavy areas, without due process.

Will Wyden's letter stop the SSA plan?

Unlikely — SSA must comply with the EO, but it could spark lawsuits and delays.
